Fun Christmas songs to play on bass?

Me and a friend are planning on playing a song or two at a christmas party and I was looking for a fun song to play. Any recommendations? I don't think either of us will sing so something we can do with just guitar and bass would be good.

This song is hugely popular around here for the last 55 years. However, it is done completely a cappella.

Hardrock, Coco and Joe

I like the Gary Hoey version of You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch
